BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION (1) Field of the Invention (2) Descriptionof Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and1.98

The disclosure and prior art relates to packaging assemblies and moreparticularly pertains to a new packaging assembly for creatingstructures.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above bygenerally comprising a container that comprises paperboard. A pattern ispositioned on a surface of the container. The pattern defines aplurality of two-dimensional pieces. A user is positioned to cut thetwo-dimensional pieces from the container and to assemble thetwo-dimensional pieces into a three-dimensional structure.

There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more importantfeatures of the disclosure in order that the detailed descriptionthereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that thepresent contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There areadditional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafterand which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.

The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features ofnovelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out withparticularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of thisdisclosure.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING(S)

The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than thoseset forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to thefollowing detailed description thereof. Such description makes referenceto the annexed drawings wherein:

FIG. 1 is a back view of an entertainment providing packaging assemblyaccording to an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 2 is an isometric perspective view of an embodiment of thedisclosure.

FIG. 3 is an in-use view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through3 thereof, a new packaging assembly embodying the principles andconcepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated bythe reference numeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 3, the entertainment providingpackaging assembly 10 generally comprises a container 12 that comprisespaperboard. The container 12 is substantially rectangularly box shaped.The container 12 may comprise the packaging for any item, such asbreakfast cereal or the like.

A pattern 14 is positioned on a surface 16 of the container 12, as shownin FIG. 1. The pattern 14 defines a plurality of two-dimensional pieces18, as shown in FIG. 2. A user is positioned to cut the two-dimensionalpieces 18 from the container 12 and to assemble the two-dimensionalpieces 18 into a three-dimensional structure 20, as shown in FIG. 3. Thepattern 14 is positioned on an exterior 22 of the container 12.

Each two-dimensional piece 18 is numbered so that the two-dimensionalpieces 18 are sequentially numbered. The user is positioned to couplethe two-dimensional pieces 18 in sequence to assemble thetwo-dimensional pieces 18 into the three-dimensional structure 20. Thethree-dimensional structure may resemble an animal, a cartoon character,a machine, a building, or the like.

The pattern 14 defines a plurality of slots 24, as shown in FIG. 2. Eachslot 24 extends into a respective two-dimensional piece 18. The slot 24of the respective two-dimensional piece 18 is positioned to align withthe slot 24 of an associated two-dimensional piece 18. The respectivetwo-dimensional piece 18 and the associated two-dimensional piece 18 areconfigured to slide together to couple the respective two-dimensionalpiece 18 to the associated two-dimensional piece 18.

The pattern 14 defines a plurality of openings 26 and a plurality ofstems 28, as shown in FIG. 2. Each opening 26 is positioned through arespective two-dimensional piece 18. Each stem 28 extends from arespective two-dimensional piece 18. The opening 26 of the respectivetwo-dimensional piece 18 is positioned to insert the stem 28 of anassociated two-dimensional piece 18 to couple the respectivetwo-dimensional piece 18 to the associated two-dimensional piece 18.

In use, the user is positioned to cut the two-dimensional pieces 18 fromthe container 12 using the pattern 14. The user is positioned to couplethe two-dimensional pieces 18, in sequence using the slots 24, theopenings 26, and the stems 28, to assemble the two-dimensional pieces 18into the three-dimensional structure 20.

With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized thatthe optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodimentenabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials,shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, aredeemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and allequivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings anddescribed in the specification are intended to be encompassed by anembodiment of the disclosure.

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of theprinciples of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications andchanges will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is notdesired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operationshown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications andequivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of thedisclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used inits non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word areincluded, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. Areference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not excludethe possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless thecontext clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
